A missing sweater and a difficult confession

Porcupine’s favorite red sweater, made by his grandmother, has gone missing. Worried that telling her will hurt her feelings, he considers making a replacement, borrowing one, or leaving home. The dilemma gives this picture-book story a clear focus on the unease of making a mistake and the challenge of deciding how to respond. Its central situation is simple and concrete, while opening space for conversations about honesty, responsibility, and feelings within a family.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering stories about mistakes and telling the truth
  • Families looking for a picture-book starting point for conversations about honesty and feelings

Book overview

Porcupine's favorite sweater is missing!

It was fuzzy, and red, and made with love by his Grandma. Porcupine doesn't want to hurt her feelings by admitting he lost it. Maybe he can make a new one? Or borrow someone else's? Or maybe he'll have no choice but to leave home. What's a porcupine to do?

A cute story that empathizes with anyone who's ever made a mistake and been afraid to admit the truth. Readers will delight in helping Porcupine decide what needs to be done.
